Two-mode squeezing over deployed fiber coexisting with conventional communications (2304.10053v2)

Published 20 Apr 2023 in quant-ph

Abstract: Squeezed light is a crucial resource for continuous-variable (CV) quantum information science. Distributed multi-mode squeezing is critical for enabling CV quantum networks and distributed quantum sensing. To date, multi-mode squeezing measured by homodyne detection has been limited to single-room experiments without coexisting classical signals, i.e., on ``dark'' fiber. Here, after distribution through separate fiber spools (5~km), $-0.9\pm0.1$-dB coexistent two-mode squeezing is measured. Moreover, after distribution through separate deployed campus fibers (about 250~m and 1.2~km), $-0.5\pm0.1$-dB coexistent two-mode squeezing is measured. Prior to distribution, the squeezed modes are each frequency multiplexed with several classical signals -- including the local oscillator and conventional network signals -- demonstrating that the squeezed modes do not need dedicated dark fiber. After distribution, joint two-mode squeezing is measured and recorded for post-processing using triggered homodyne detection in separate locations. This demonstration enables future applications in quantum networks and quantum sensing that rely on distributed multi-mode squeezing.
